I am currently the Lead Programmer and a Mentor for FRC Team 10384, where I lead technical development and support younger team members in mastering core programming and robotics principles.

My journey began as a founding member of FIRST Robotics Team 9277, where I served as Design Lead and later led outreach efforts across all school robotics teams. I’ve contributed to mechanical builds, code development, and strategic planning while also spearheading initiatives to grow STEM awareness in our community. These include running workshops, organizing robotics events, and mentoring teams

In 2023, I joined my schools debate team- a big jump from someone who was heaviliy focused on stem activites. Through consistent practice and the desire to improve, I ranked in the top 10 in Calgary and advanced to the provincial level. This experience not only boosted my debating skills but also enhanced my communication, which helps in my STEM pursuits. I believe everyone should try debate at least once, as the skills I gained are valuable across all areas.

As part of the WiseUCalgary research program at the University of Calgary, I developed a real-time crop monitoring drone system integrating IoT sensors. This project aimed to optimize crop health and water usage by tracking environmental data such as temperature, humidity, and light levels. Collaborating with a multidisciplinary team, I gained hands-on experience in sensor integration and data analysis, contributing to a low-cost solution that enhances agricultural efficiency while minimizing fieldwork. This opportunity deepened my understanding of the intersection between technology and sustainable farming practices.

I gained hands-on expertise in advanced neuroimaging techniques, including MRI scans and Transcranial Doppler Ultrasound, to assess and analyze cerebral health. Collaborating with leading experts in the field allowed me to deepen my knowledge of neuroimaging applications and vascular health. Additionally, I engaged in cognitive assessments, gaining insights into how lifestyle factors can influence dementia prevention. This experience has equipped me with the skills and knowledge necessary to contribute to future innovations in medical science.

In 2022, I was one of 40 students selected from around the province of Alberta to provide input, and youth perspectives and share my voice in provincial education.

I focused on enhancing the COVID reentry plan for students, particularly those in K-6, whose reading and math skills were impacted by prolonged educational isolation. I proposed a transition period dedicated to these two subjects while leveraging STEAM courses to strengthen their skills.p>

In April of 2023, I had the opportunity to attend the 4th seminar of CDL Rockies where start-up businesses presented their products and future development plans to mentors and business people to gain their support and sponsors. Through this session, I shadowed Vincent Chaley, who has experience in the intersection between commerce and agriculture, learning essential skills in trades while getting first-hand experience at some of the world's leading technologies. I enhanced my public speaking skills as I presented my ideas to the mentors and gained knowledge in the business sector while building my network.
